Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 14:10, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hello,

Nice additions to George Augustus Robinson. Just curious though, did you contact the State Library for permission to use the photo? I'm asking not so much because I'm trying to police copyright violations, but more because there are some other images in the library that would be nice to use.Bkonrad 15:10, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I would think the 50+ rule would apply, but copyright law is taking strange turns in the digital age. I mean, the library could conceivably consider the scanned version of the photos as a separate publication of the image. Or they could be considered to be under crown copyright, which I no even less about than U.S. copyright. If you find anything out from the State Library, let me know--`cause that would be a great resource. Bkonrad 16:15, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Caught me red handed

The temptation was too great! I was looking at the "famous cricketers" from Tasmania and remembered that, in an article I edited for David Hookes, William Kirkman had figures of 29-0-164-1 at Adelaide in 1987 when David Hookes made 306* and Wayne Phillips 213*. I put it in as a joke for myself for no other reason. I never do this - I have no idea why! --One Salient Oversight 03:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I suppose so

From Jgritz' comment on PA Massacre edit: (one link is enough for the terrifying truth :)). Well I guess so... a global conspiracy to disarm the citizens by the UN that shoots random cafes to achieve their aims? You have to admit, it's pretty entertaining. Heh heh. --Dr Strangelove

This photo is being moved to WikiCommons. Also, the GFDL is a non-revokable license and nobody, including you, can change the license from GFDL to something else, e.g. All rights reserved or public domain. Thuresson 14:16, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry if I was a bit short. Since you are the photographer you are obviously free to sell it to anybody under any license for any price but the copy of it on Wikipedia will always be GFDL. Thuresson 09:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Holy Sepulchre

Thanks for adding those photos! They add a lot to the article. When were you there? Csernica 21:34, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Australian Greens

I wish I'd had the sense to make the leadership bit a note; I didn't want to put the full explanation in the box, and the anon didn't seem to be capable of reading the explanation in the rest of the article. Thanks for that :-) --Calair 23:32, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Don't you understand that that link is highly relevant to the greens, not Family First? Are you able to comprehend that all major Australian political parties have links to critisism on their article except, now thanx to you, the Greens? Or are to just trying to push your POV by removing all dissent? Xtra 23:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• NPOV - I note the comment you left when removing the POV dispute template. It's not that I am shy, I would go ahead and edit the article if I thought it was my business to do so. What I would have preferred is for the person who wrote the non-neutral text to stop and take a dispassionate look at it. The alternative is that I make edits and others come along and get offended that their work is altered. Such would be impolite. Darcyj 15:37, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

West Coast Range

You marked West Coast Range for speedy deletion with the reason "Very ambigous name - could be put within existing article about tasmania". This is not a valid reason for speedy deletion. Please acquaint yourself with the criteria for speedy deletion before you mark articles for speedy deletion in the future. Thank you.

If you feel the name of an article is incorrect, be bold and move it. If you feel that one article should be merged into another, be bold and merge it, and replace the original with a redirect. Kelly Martin 08:43, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

You are not right, why you do not delete www.israelimages.com ? And you yes delete my site www.wildlife-photo.org ? I all shall equally put it!!! As my photos about Israel! And my resource not commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is your personal site. Please don't put links to your personal site on wikipedia. Put them on your talk page if anywhere. Jgritz 30 June 2005 07:57 (UTC)

Not only is it his personal site, but it is commercial; it has a tab for ordering prints. Jayjg ^(talk) 30 June 2005 16:26 (UTC)

Photographer

You could gently direct the guy (?) to the Wikimedia Commons and suggest he contribute there. Have you pointed him to the external links policy? - Mgm|^(talk) July 2, 2005 15:23 (UTC)

Have pointed him to the commons, and left links to What_Wikipedia_is_not. I think that's why this is bugging me so much - there's a fundamental misunderstanding of what this site is. He seems to think it is like http://dmoz.org/ and that it his right to have his site here. This link should be here based on its encyclopedic value. I didn't put the Israel article on my watch list because I wanted to find photos. I put it there because I want to learn more through reading about the place. Jgritz 2 July 2005 15:35 (UTC)

It's not clear to me what else can be done at this point. Jayjg ^(talk) 3 July 2005 03:26 (UTC)

I'd like to note that blocking his IPs is futile, they are dynamically allocated by his ISP (Bezeq International). He gets a new IP everytime he connects to the internet and you are blocking IPs that may be used by other clients of Bezeq International.--Doron 7 July 2005 09:17 (UTC)

Re West Coast entries. Ok I may put some extra lines, but when you get blocks of text like in the MHPS - my understanding from wiki based info was that to be broken up with headings was better than that. Best Wishesvcxlor 6 July 2005 08:50 (UTC)

Tasmanian categories: please use only the most specific

hi, please be careful to keep only the most specific categories for articles in a vertical dimension, e.g. List of Tasmanians needs to only be in category:People of Tasmania, but not also in category:Tasmania (because the former is already a subcategory of the latter), see Wikipedia:Categorization#Guidelines for assignment of categories. thanks. clarkk 6 July 2005 10:20 (UTC)

no problem. the basic idea is to be frugal in the "vertical" dimension (i.e. keep in the most specific "lowest" sub-category) but be generous in the "horizontal" dimension (e.g. category:History of Tasmania is under category:History of Australia and category:Tasmania). of course the category system doesn't form a strict hierarchy or tree, so there are exceptions, but it makes it cleaner if we stick to a tree-like hierarchy and only deviate from it for a good reason. clarkk 6 July 2005 10:50 (UTC)

Good work

I just wanted to commend your efforts in reverting vandals. Jayjg ^(talk) 7 July 2005 16:44 (UTC)

Banteay Srei

Nice picture of Banteay Srei- I'm finally writing an article to go with it. The picture looks to me like the south (on the left) and central towers- do you remember if that's right? Thanks, Mark¹ 05:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

David Boon photo

Hello, Jgritz. I'm trying to check the source and copyright status of all the cricket pictures. Your picture of David Boon doesn't seem to have a source, so I'm wondering where you got it from. Thanks very much for any info. Stephen Turner 11:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, thanks very much for your reply. I'll list it as "no source" and it will get deleted in due course. Stephen Turner 11:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

G'day/Mountains of Tassie etc

G'day, hope you've checked out the wet coat range recently! I agree with your removal of the link to the mountain commercial mob in tassie entry - but am simply short of the coke bottle to really start a 'outdoor/mountaineering and commerce/tourism' entry for tassie, and wonder what you think of one of them for such things as the large numbers of businesses that gear themselves up as outdoor tourism ventures.. interestingly enough i see no one has ventured into doing the south west tas region art yet. seeyavcxlor 03:45, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Yup

All entries relating to the hydro read like commercials. Thanks for improving the encyclopediac standard on lake pedder!! well donevcxlor 13:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

The connection between the Jewish-Arab conflict in the days of Muhammad to the Arab-Israeli conflict

If you don't know what is the connection between the Jewish-Arab conflict in the days of Muhammad to the Arab-Israeli conflict, read the article Jewish-Arab conflict, especially this section. Toya 11:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Lecture critique?

I saw that you removed my addition to Outsourcing. I added a comment about it. As I mentioned, I'm an author, not a consultant. Was there something specific in that lecture which you thought did not belong? My coauthor and I would appreciate any feedback that you have -- if there's something factually incorrect in it, we'll ask our publisher, O'Reilly, to publish an errata and we'll post it on the companion website for our book.

Un-notable film?

Have you seen the film? Mike Gordon is a rock star and his work should be up here. Aren't you supposed to put a warning up first before you delete something? I am going to put it back up because I know it is notable. Check Phish's website and look for the film there. You may learn something.

Yes the film may be minor, but doesn't the creator have any weight to it? There are too many instances I can think of where a product of an artist may not be the greatest, in some people's opinions, but the work is still refrenced. Just because imdb doesn't have a review of it, did you look at the site above like I asked you to? Daviddec 05:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Check out this one too. outside out Daviddec 05:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

...and? A bad flash movie don't maketh an article. Jgritz 05:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I was hoping you'd say something like that. Did you take a lesson? Daviddec 06:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

The only lesson I've had today is what I've been told about Phishheads is true. Jgritz 06:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

what's that? Daviddec 09:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Rising Low

You should remove the flag on the Rising Low article. This movie, as well as Outside Out, fit the criteria to be submitted as an article. They both have been awarded honors at prestigious cinema festivals. Also try not to attack me personally. The rules say that's wrong. 'Article added by repeat creator of rubbish articles, and general trouble maker.' Thanks again for answering my previous question. Daviddec 12:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You do add rubbish content. For example, your user page. Pretty classy stuff. How come these prestigious film festivals don't have articles? And your contributions of today show all the hallmarks of a troll. So it ain't personal, its just a rational observation of someone who obviously doesn't "get it" and who should probably be off chatting about what type of bass strings Mike Gordon uses on the Phish forums. Goodbye. Jgritz 12:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Is this proof of notibility? http://www.newportfilmfestival.com/2005/awards.asp i'd also like to thank you for judging me based on my wiki history. That makes sooo much sense and is perfectly logical. 'Cause people never change or act trivial or do things for the hell of it and 'cause life is very serious and needs negativity and less is good all the time. Before suggesting that I don't 'got it' we should both examine what Kerouac said about 'it'. Daviddec 16:32, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

"I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion" (JK) - Is that "it". Jgritz 00:07, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Stop foreignizing the world

When you foreigners get the intelligence to develop a technology that the world uses, you can begin to impose your foreign spellings on us. Until then, when you are dealing with American technology, on American web sites, you should use modern American words. Wikipedia is an American web site hosted in America, and C# is an American technology, developed by Microsoft, an American company.

You have a very open mind, and I wish there were more people with your insight. Keep up the good work! Jgritz 22:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

btw. foreignizing is not a real word, American or not (foreignising). Also, you may want to read this - http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English

Personal/commercial

Well, all the other links on the article in question are also commercial links. Thus your argument did not make sense. However, I finally understood why my edit was wiped out - i.e. the page I entered was under construction. - Greetings - JamLovers

Personal/commercial 2

May I ask why was my non-commercial link deleted, which also had some relevancy to the topic, unlike some of the commercial links already up there? The page I linked to was not even under construction... Thx. Camenzind

First you complain about my maps being commercial, then when you find out that they are not, you are criticizing the quality of them, which is questionable especially if you praise the ones from cia. But that's a matter of taste, so no problem. However, I would kindly like to ask why do not you remove all of the commercial links from the given page, I could mention a few: http://www.countymapsusa.com/ http://www.mediatico.com/en/ http://www.united-states-map.com/ - does not even work Or in other words, if these links are appropriate, why is mine not. Thx for your time.

Notability

I strongly disagree with your current edit of Notable Tasmanians, I will refrain from anything at this point, but alert to you that unless I see some _very _good _reasoning on the talk page, I will be reverting some of them in the new year. Apart from that I trust you had a good christmas, and hope to enjoy our banter again in the new year!vcxlor 09:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the photography edit

I left it a bit ugly to invite some cleanup. I liked your edits. Interesting subject, actually, the physics of resolution. The Bayer article and the moire articles we fortunately already extant. A graph of price vs time would be a nice addition. Steve Kd4ttc

Notablility/etc blah

I do hope you dont take it personally, but I still disagree with your comments re Tas People - but wont let that get in the way! I will let the Chris Koch article be a lesson in itself - you said it was a red link - take it out, and there when I start it - he's an OA, 2 x major award winner, books about tas, as well as the Year of... There are other tasmanians who have similar situations - they simply havent had arts about them yet! And they will get on the list, and it will stay! Yes?

As for richard, I was not focusing on the drama issue (god could I tell you a story or two about the puppet people of hobart of years ago!!) - but the book - and a lot of the issues that arise out of that, but to do that art - another couple of months again!. You may well take him off the list if you wish, but that dosnt decrease other issues relative to an expanded article.

Best wishes, looking forward to another speedy deletion or other issue to have fun with you about  :) SatuSuro 07:05, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry. Not taking it personally! I should really read Davey's book. Anyway, leave the list as it is. Suppose I'm worried, because once these list articles start they seem to be a magnet for everyman, his dog and their reality TV star friends. --Jgritz 07:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

:) That indeed my friend is when we jump!

With the hope we don't get the bloody happy birthday jimbo wales guy ripping through our tassie arts, thats when we call in the kelly martins (or is that howitzers!) anyways, ive had so few signs of vandals/trolls/etc/edits/intrusions on my west coast arts, I sort of cruise through them in disbelief! best wishes SatuSuro 08:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

yeah, if you look at 69.122.182.198 and read through, she's no interest in protocol and appears to have been user katherinejohnson and seems to be wiki guerilla but not the happy birthday jimbo wales dimensions!! SatuSuro 09:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC) yup I've let ambi and duncharis know as well, but when I get in and see some of the other stuff, it's enough to want to retreat to the west coast mountains for a while - in every sense! Thanks for your response! 10:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

But look at how she has a complete disregard for Wikipedia policy--blah blah--there is a reason, disrespect only breeds more disrespect. Isn't that right fellas?

re: Hip Forums

From looking at your edits earlier, I was hoping this was some sort of mistake! Was also considering that your account had been hacked, as you do have a good record of cleaning up after the vandals. In light of the update, being rid of the vandal warning is perfectly fine with me, keep up the good work! xaosflux ^Talk/_CVU 17:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I see that you uploaded this photo and provided a link to the source. The link doesn't currently point to the image in question. Looking around on that site I was not able to find license info and I was wondering how you know it's licensed under the GFDL. In fact this site seems to solicit contributions, so the 'source' (the copyright holder) may not be affiliated with that site and may not want it licensed under the GFDL. Seeking clarification.

File:NoDamsTriangle.jpg needs authorship information.

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:NoDamsTriangle.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|Jgritz}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

• If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

Use of your Jerusalem photo

Hello Wayne,

I have used a cropped version of your Jerusalem photo (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AJerusalem_from_mt_olives.jpg) to illustrate an article about an upcoming Elvis Presley themed Isreal sightseeing trip in the news blog of the German Elvis Presley Society. I have linked to the respective Wikimedia photo page, you are credited by name at the end of the article and in the photo caption of the full size view. Have a look: http://www.epg-ev.de/News_reader/items/elvis-reise-durch-das-heilige-land.html

Most of the news items in the blog also end up in the printed magazine of the society named "Graceland" which is issued six times per year. So it is very likely that your photo will be used in the next magazine as well, if you allow, which will come out some time in June. The editors have the final say, though, dependent on the space that is availabe on that page. If it is printed, your photo will be credited with your name and I would be very happy to send you a copy in the mail once I get my copies of the magazine.

Have a great day,

Thomas R Machnitzki (User:doxTxob)

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Tasmanian_Devil_resting.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
